After 3.5 years of awesome service, I'm parting with my beloved SP3. It truly is one of the best bargains in Audio. It is build as one can see on the box by Melody of Australia. This was a hard decision to make as ithe SP3 has provided many magical moments of sonic bliss. It is in outstanding condition with only a few specks of dust to mar its Art Deco styling, an easy 8.5 on the audiogon scale. It comes with the stock tubes and their covers, along with a basic power cord. Srajean Ebajan of 6Moons has it as a reference piece.

Shipping info: 57lbs, box measures 19x21x13. Shipping from 97007, please calculate insurance as I will not ship otherwise. I prefer UPS.
Payment via Paypal.

Please PM with any questions.

    Is this the original design or the later version?

    Honestly, I was never able to get confirmation on whether it was the mk1 or mk2. Though by the date I received it, which was August of 2006, I'm betting it is a mk2. I'll see what I can find out.

    SolidSqual:
    Just received a reply, this is the mkII version. Melody has since created a new SP8 at 45wpc.

    NEW PRICE $420 for Club Polkers

    I am very surprised this is still sitting here. Ive used one for a while now and it just cannot be beat for the money. Dont let the power fool anyone, mine is pushing a 6' pair of electrostat's, and I'm loving every minute of it.

    GL with the sale, you really shouldnt need it though.

    No voltmeter was in the box when I received it from AV123.

    It would be a short ship time, and pretty reasonable cost compared to x-country.
